Flat Racing - Wednesday 17th of October

16.50 Nottingham: Aubrietia @ 5/1 Bet365 Aubrietia had a massive year so far winning four races and looks still on the upward. She was desperately unlucky in a very messy race at Leicester last week. She had an excellent position on the inside rail actually and looked going the strongest for a long way but from 2f out she has been heavily hampered. She still made headway after a first slight bump but a second one cost her every chance when she was kind of in a sandwich. She still managed to finish sixth what I'd consider a fantastic performance overall and which suggests that she is still on a winnable mark. She drops in trip back to 5f tomorrow, a trip she's two from two and she's back at Nottingham, a track she won at on her sole start. She's also down in class. That all makes her the horse they all have to beat in my mind despite being 9lb above the last winning mark. 17.10 Lingfield: Kinglami @ 6/1 Bet365 After breaking his maiden tag at Kempton in August he's gone close in all his last starts while always travelling well but failing narrowly either. I thought the most eye-catching and interesting performance was the most recent one, when he stepped up to 1m for the first time. He really travelled well that day at Kempton but had a long way through the whole field to go in the home straight from the rear of the field and that was a mission impossible to catch the eventual winner who made all from the front. He finished in impressive fashion though, staying on extremely well and it confirmed that he has no problems to stay the trip anyway. He dropped 1lb for this effort surprisingly and really gets a chance by the handicapper I think while staying over over one mile but switching to Lingfield's All-Weather track for the first time which I feel could suit his running style way better. He's still lightly raced and can improve further over this trip and should have a cracking chance of winning here in this race as the bottom weight.

Re: Flat Racing - Wednesday 17th of October 15:15 Nottingham - Very sweet on the chances of SIRVINO. Current mark of 92 is at the top end of winning runs but there seems to be a little more in the tank based on previous showings over this distance. No problems with C&D or going..... 4 places on offer, super little e/w shot.
